April 29TH, 2011 - One of our favorite stops along the ICW is Barefoot Landing Marina. Barefoot Landing is a floating dock wall beside a great outlet area and wonderful restaurants. Last time we were here, there were signs the economy was definitely taking its toll, many closed shops. Well we were not disappointed this time, many boutiques were open. The captain managed to get a great pair of boat sandals and the first mate purchased a skort, top and matching sunvisor. At 75% off the regular price how can you not buy something? We had a great time walking around and treated ourselves to some great ice cream. The weather was warm, sunny and wonderful.
Some of the interesting spots that really didn't impress us but gave us concern were these tiny ponds that contained huge fish and dozens of turtles. There just seemed to be too many animals for such a tiny area. When people walked along the walkways you can purchase turtle/fish food. These creatures were definitely used to this formality as the turtles and fish clamored for a spot.
